The longest haul for milk for New York City in 1905 

 was 396 miles, which was from Massena Springs, a point 

 in northern New York not far from the St. Lawrence 

 River. The time that the milk is in transit from this point 

 is 16 hours. 



" Most of the milk supply of Chicago is produced within 

 60 miles of the city, and a 1 00-mile circle about the city 

 would include nearly all of the dairies producing its sup- 

 ply, though in times of exceptional scarcity in the summer, 

 sweet cream is shipped 200 miles." x The Chicago city- 

 milk area is therefore much smaller than the New York
